PROPHECY---- EZEKIEL'S MESSAGE TO US #2

 Ezekiel's Message To Us 

Part 2

     FOR WHY WILL YOU DIE, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL?

by Keith Hunt      People of the nations of the British Commonwealth, the United States of America, and countries of North-west Europe,  you are the literal people of the 10 tribes of the Old Testament House of Israel, who were taken as captives and slaves by the armies of the Empire of Assyria from 745 to 718 B.C. Those ten tribes never returned to their land of Samaria in Palestine, but eventually migrated north to the area of the Black and Caspian seas. Through the following centuries they came into Europe under various names, the most familiar ones being the names of Celts, Danes, Gauls, Anglo-Saxons, Jutes, Franks, Normans, and Vikings. Those peoples settled in North-west Europe and the British isles. There the people of the tribe of Joseph - Ephraim and Manesseh - multiplied together, eventually forming a multitude of nations and a great single nation, as foretold in the book of Genesis.      There are dozens of prophecies in the OT concerning the last days of this present age, and what portends for YOU as nations, IF as nations you will NOT repent!       Those words of prophetic significance WILL come to pass as sure as day turns into night. The Eternal says that as you multiplied in population, wealth, and power, so your SINS multiplied, until your lands are full of every kind of wickedness and corruption and perversion, from the top of your head to the sole of your feet.      The Almighty God gives you a warning and a sure end result of your sins, through the prophet Ezekiel. He tells you that His punishment, His correction, His chastising, will come upon you, and in no uncertain manner. DURING THIS COVID-19 PANDEMIC OF 2020,  IT SHOULD BE  SEEN HOW EASY IT IS TO BE DECIMATED AS NATIONS,  ADD TO THAT WITH EARTHQUAKES AND TORNADOS ETC.  AND WE COULD BE ON OUR FACE IN THE MUD PRETTY  DARN QUICK.        Last time we saw the setting and calling of Ezekiel to warn the House of Israel. He was a prisoner by the river of Chebar. He was to tell the children of Israel (far away from where Ezekiel was) about their future destruction and captivity, yet he was NOT to go about among them, and his mouth was to remain shut....until God opened it, and that was to be way down at the time of the end of this present age.       The events to come upon the city of Jerusalem was to be a type of the events to come upon the House of Israel, shortly before the coming of the Messiah in glory to rule all nations with a rod of iron.      We have now come to the beginning of the 5th chapter of the book of Ezekiel. Here God gets very specific in percentage of your peoples and what WILL happen to them in the yet future time of "Jacob's trouble" or the "great tribulation" that is to come upon the whole world, about three and one half years before the glorious return of Christ Jesus to this earth.      Your sins and wickedness O house of Israel is very great and have come before the Holy One of Israel, for judgment and correction.       You, nation of Britain, have about 4% of your population that attend religious services on a regular basis. Even most of those have little knowledge or desire to find the truths of the word of the Lord. You are a people of secular materialism, and such sexual desires of lust that the most popular daily newspaper has its topless girl on page three each day.      Canada, your violent crime is growing - killings and murders on the increase, and still you will not bring back the death penalty for those guilty of willful murder, as the laws of the Eternal proclaim should be the law of the land.      The United States of America, your crime rate is the highest in Israel, and blood does touch blood. You have a high percentage of church going people, and ones that say they believe in a God, yet your land is full of every sin and evil imaginable.       Every day in the lands of northwest Europe, the British Commonwealth, and the United Sates, the local news of your towns bring the sordid reality of a people that have forgotten the true ways of the Almighty, have turned their back on the commandments of God, have fallen into drug abuse, food abuse, alcohol abuse, gambling abuse, pleasure and sports madness, hate and violence, unhappy families, abuse within families of every kind, and a huge divorce rate. Your schools by and large have no discipline, and true to the prophecies, children are your oppressors. Those that lead you cause you to err and destroy your paths. Your leaders are mad and your prophets are profane, so says the Lord.      Your lands kill tens of thousands of the most helpless and innocent each year in your freedom of choice abortion clinics.       Your courts are full of injustice, where sometimes the rich and the famous can literally get away with murder. Then on the other hand many innocent people are found guilty because of the pressure from some to find  and convict a suspect - to solve a case.      You have judges that take bribes, and lawyers that will defend anyone for pay, manipulating the law, withholding evidence, lying and twisting things, using the race issue, and doing just about anything to win a case if paid enough money.      The poor and the widow and the fatherless are being forgotten, while the rich get richer. The people's money collected through taxes is often greatly abused by your government agencies as clearly reported by your investigative news programs.      There is lust, greed, envy, immorality, perversion, unbridled anger, a calling of good "evil" and the calling of evil "good" through your lands O children of Israel.  You have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof!  You trample on the holy Sabbath day of the Eternal. And reject His feasts while observing those He hates. Most of your religious teachers have taught you to believe that God's grace gives you license to break the law of God. While they offer you liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption and sin. Because there is no knowledge of the Lord in the land, because you have chosen to reject true knowledge, the Almighty is going to reject you that you will be no priest unto Him.      You are increasingly teaching and proclaiming that Homosexuality and Lesbianism is fine among consenting persons. You are starting to even give them "family" status, with child rearing rights. All this, while the perfect righteous and holy One calls living this life style an abomination!            I could go on and on listing and expounding your wickedness and sins, but those I have commented on shall bring punishment upon you from the Eternal in no uncertain way. That certain way God will now reveal and proclaim to you.  Unless you repent as nations what you are about to read is certain to come to pass. So it is written, and so it will be done. And when it will come upon you, then you will know there is a God in heaven who rules in the kingdoms of men, setting up and setting down as He has decreed by His holy prophets, one of them being the prophet Ezekiel.      Remember, the city of Jerusalem and that which was to befall it, is used in the book of Ezekiel as a type of the nations of the house of Israel, and what is to befall them just before the coming of the Messiah in power and glory to rule all nations and establish the Kingdom of God over the whole earth for a thousand years.      " And you , son of man, take you a sharp knife, take you a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon your head and upon your beard: then take you balanced to weigh, and divide the hair.      You shall burn with fire a THIRD PART in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and you shall take a THIRD PART, and smite about it with a knife: and a THIRD PART you shall scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.      You shall also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in your skirts. Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into ALL the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.      Thus says the Lord God; THIS IS JERUSALEM: I have set  in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.      And she has changed my judgments into WICKEDNESS more  than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have REFUSED my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them" (Ezek. 5:1-6).      This is the word of the Lord unto the HOUSE OF ISRAEL,  not the house of Judah, but unto those that had already, 120-150 years earlier, gone into captivity and were now out of the Assyrian land and in the area of the Black and Caspian seas, heading North and West into Europe and South into Asia Minor.  The House of Israel was typified by the city of Jerusalem. What was written here was to yet happen to the people of the holy city, and in so doing this prophecy had a first fulfilment, but the MAIN and ULTIMATE fulfilment was to take place on the  peoples of the House of Israel, still in the FUTURE of us TODAY.   These words are YET to come to pass on YOU PEOPLES of the  United States, Northwest Europe, and the British Commonwealth,  unless you REPENT AND SEEK THE ETERNAL WITH ALL  YOUR HEART!      “Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against you, and will execute judgment in the midst of you in the sight of the nations. Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you, and the sons shall eat the fathers; and I will execute judgment in you, and the whole remnant of you will I scatter into the winds" (chapt. 5:8-10).      The time will yet come in Jacob's trouble, that starvation and hardship will be so intense people will literally eat each other to try and stay alive. Those of you who shall survive will be scattered into the winds as captives and slaves of your enemies.      "Wherefore, as I live, says the Lord God; Surely, because you have DEFILED my SANCTUARY with all your detestable  things, and with all your ABOMINATIONS, therefore will I also  DIMINISH you; neither shall my eye spare, neither will I have  pity" (verse 11).      One of the reasons that judgment and punishment will come upon you is because of the FALSE RELIGIONS that you espouse.  The Eternal calls your religions, yes even your so called "Christian" religion, an ABOMINATION!  You have defiled His name and His sanctuary with evil abominations!      You have changed the holy Sabbath day of the 4th commandment, the 7th day, to the pagan sun-god day of the first day of the week, which not one verse in the entire Bible declares is the Lord's day to be set apart as holy unto Him.      You have rejected the FEATS of the Lord as listed in Leviticus 23, the festivals that Jesus observed in the NT gospels, the festivals that the early apostolic church continued to observe, and you have adopted and adapted the feasts of the heathen, deceived, Satanically influenced nations around you. Spend a few hours in your Encyclopedias and look up the topics of Easter, Christmas, January 1st, Valentines Day, Halloween, and even Thanksgiving Day, and enlighten your eyes and mind to the truth of the matter concerning these festivals that are passed off by the leaders of your churches as "Christian" and pleasing to God to celebrate. Then search the scriptures and find what the Eternal has to say about taking the feasts of the spiritually darkened nations around you and  worshipping Him with them.  You can start with Deuteronomy 12:29-32.      The word of the Almighty says your priests and ministers have put NO DIFFERENCE between that which is holy and that  which un-holy, that which is clean and that which is un-clean, that which is righteous and that which is un-righteous. Your religious leaders have led you astray and have deceived you with enticing and sweet words. You heap to yourselves ministers with itching ears that tell you what you have hired them to tell you. You and your workers in the sanctuary of God have turned the grace of the Lord into a license to sin and practice wickedness. You have church organizations that support the sin of abortion on demand. You have churches that teach their members that homosexuality  and lesbianism is acceptable to God and just another life style that is within His law.      You have ministers that have fallen into gross sins many times, that have brought shame and embarrassment on the word  and name of Christ and His true church, which you allow to remain  as leaders of the flock of God.      Because of all this and more, listen to what the Almighty Eternal  God says to you:      “A THIRD PART shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of you: and a THIRD PART shall fall by the sword round about you; and I will scatter a THIRD PART into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them” (verse 12).      Here the order is pestilence, famine, the sword, and scattering, but later as we shall see, the order is the sword, famine, and pestilence (chapter 6:11). So we cannot be dogmatic as to which will come first upon you, but whichever is first, the message is very clear, when all is done, two thirds of you will be dead while the other remaining third is scattered into the winds and a sword comes after them.  The prophet AMOS was inspired to foretell that only ONE TENTH of you shall remain alive after God has poured out His judgments on you (Amos 5:1-3).      "Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they SHALL KNOW that I have spoken in my zeal, when I HAVE (future tense) accomplished my fury in them. Moreover I will make you waste,  and a reproach among the nations that are round about you, in the sight of all that pass by you. So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about you, when I shall execute judgment in you in anger and in fury and in furious rebuke. I the Lord have spoken it. When I shall send upon you the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I shall send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread. So I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword upon you. I the Lord have spoken it" (verses 13-17).      As if all this was not enough emphasis, the Lord God opens up the other barrel of the shot gun and unloads it upon you in chapter six. Most of you will not listen or harken to these words so you may repent from all your wickedness, for you are a most rebellious and stone-hearted people, but for the few among you who will fall upon their knees in humble repentance, and so save their souls, I will give you the words of the Eternal as found in Ezekiel the sixth chapter.      "And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set your face towards the mountains of Israel, and prophecy against them, and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a SWORD UPON YOU, and I will destroy your high places.  And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will CAST DOWN YOUR SLAIN MEN before your idols.  And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars. In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be made desolate, and your idols shall be broken and cease, and your images shall be cut down, and your works may be abolished. And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.            Yet will I LEAVE A REMNANT, that you may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, WHEN you SHALL BE scattered among the countries. And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried CAPTIVES, because I am broken with their WHORISH heart,  which have departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a  whoring after their idols: and they shall LOATHE themselves for  the EVIL which they have committed in all their ABOMINATIONS.  And they shall KNOW that I AM THE LORD, AND THAT I HAVE  NOT SAID IN VAIN THAT I WOULD DO THIS EVIL UNTO THEM.      Thus says the Lord God; Smite with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, Alas for ALL the EVIL ABOMINATIONS of the house of Israel! for they shall FALL BY THE SWORD, BY THE FAMINE, AND BY THE PESTILENCE. He that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my FURY upon them. THEN shall they KNOW  that I am the Lord, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, and in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savor to all their idols. SO WILL I STRETCH OUT MY HAND UPON THEM,  AND MAKE THE LAND DESOLATE, YES, more desolate than the  wilderness towards Diblath, in all their habitations: AND THEY  SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD."      Do not think that your wealth and your mighty weapons of war, all your space-age computer driven rockets and machines of mass destruction with their nuclear war-heads, will protect you from the destruction that surely lies in wait for you, O peoples of the House of Israel. Have you no remembrance of how the Eternal has used with mighty results of devastation, the forces and power of NATURE against some of your towns and cities in the past?  It would only be a matter of hours that you would be on your knees, broken and helpless, to the sword of your enemies, if the Almighty was to turn the power of nature upon you from coast to coast, border to border, nation to nation. If the God in heaven was to pour out upon you plagues, pestilence, and famine, that you have never seen the like of for hundreds of years, if all these natural evils of huge paralyzing death and pain were to come upon you from the hand of the Lord, if one third of you were lying dead in the streets from these destructive plagues, you would be helpless to withstand the sword from your enemies.      You may be preparing to LIVE as great nations, you may eventually see who your real enemies will be, and you may, at the stroke of midnight BLOW THE TRUMPET, to make ready,  but you will not stand to fight.        More from the Eternal about this point in the next part as I proceed through the book and prophecy of Ezekiel.                    .........................      Written November 1997.      Permission is given to print, copy, and distribute by any means, all studies and articles by Keith Hunt, trusting nothing will be changed without consent from the writer.
